 IEEE Software Special Issue
 Rapid Application Development with Dynamically Typed Languages

 Call for Papers
 Publication: September/October 2007
 Submission Deadline: 1 February 2007
===================================================================== 
=======
Dynamically typed programming languages were once seen as slow, 
unreliable,
and suitable only for small throw-away tasks. However, their 
ability to aid
rapid systems development and to facilitate the pervasive, mobile, 
and
frequently updated systems that are increasingly in demand in the 
modern
world has led to their stock rising considerably.
While developers are ever keen to find out more about the details 
of dynamic
programming languages, managers are interested in finding out how 
they can
complement existing approved languages without diluting their 
organizations'
technical focus.
We thus solicit contributions in several areas related to dynamic
programming languages. Topics of interest include:
 * Dynamic programming languages "in use".
 * Organizations' experiences in integrating dynamic programming 
languages
 into their existing language menagerie.
 * Experiences of and techniques for using dynamic programming 
languages
 effectively (including efficiency and scalability concerns).
 * How dynamic programming languages have evolved and how they might
 develop in the future.
 * New techniques in challenging areas such as metaprogramming, 
reflection,
 dynamic reconfigurability, and mobility.

Manuscripts must not exceed 5,400 words including figures and 
tables, which
count for 200 words each. Submissions in excess of these limits 
may be
rejected without refereeing. The articles we deem within the 
theme's scope
will be peer-reviewed and are subject to editing for magazine style,
clarity, organization, and space.

Tratt and
Roel Wuyts at dyn@tratt.net.
